    It’s been a long while since I was involved in a church, but my recollection of the Bible isn’t able to reference anything that implies there is a need for the hierarchy associated with the Catholic Church, or similar. It kind of says you can have a personal relationship with God, and I don’t recall anything about Mary being special in any way aside from giving birth to the so called Messiah.
